The qualities I ascribe to my higher power are "human" if you can call unconditional love a "human" trait. For me it's understanding what unconditional love looks like, so that means being able to trust my higher power and to accept good things into my life. Knowing I'm not "punished" for any supposed sins. But I also don't think God is a corporeal being who sits in the clouds. God to me is an all pervasive energy, and that energy is unconditional love. A love that carries the spark of creation.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593244940444065607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237794639434998743.post-77629665440965869362010-05-27T11:22:47.336-07:002010-05-27T11:22:47.336-07:00Yesterday I shared with my trusted advisor that it...Yesterday I shared with my trusted advisor that it is SO not working for me to have a Higher Power that has human traits. I have tried calling it God. I have tried acting as if "it unconditionally loves me". And I can't avoid being codependent with the idea of this person/spirit/thing who allegedly has feelings for me. I have not experienced a type of love that has ever not hurt me.<br /><br />So for today I prayed for HP to be the qualities of water. Flowing, absorptive, cleansing, reflective, nonjudgmental. I'd like to be those and experience those.<br /><br />I'm grateful to be engaged with those of us who are truly In the Conversation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237794639434998743.post-80414918696983498492010-05-21T06:59:30.472-07:002010-05-21T06:59:30.472-07:00right on! one question that i think helps me make ...right on! one question that i think helps me make a decision when i'm feeling apprehension is this: is this choice fundamentally unwise or is it scary because of the unknown? If the answer is fear of change or the unknown, you should probably go for it. like you say, you'll be better off for it.kailashnoreply@blogger.com
